[cobirds] Cherry Creek St Park - Pelican Pt Closed to the Public
Cobirders, For those on the south end of the metro area, the always productive Pelican Pt area at Cherry Creek has been closed to public access for protection of resident breeding species. There is a small sign indicating the area is closed that can be easily missed. The Rangers have been policing the area. The point can be approached from the Prairie Loop to the west that allows distant views with a scope. But that requires a good pair of rubber boots and trudging a fair distance. There are currently excellent mudflats all along the south shore.

[cobirds] Bohemian Waxwing Arapahoe County
Cobirders, The Bohemian Waxwing continues at Hudson Gardens. It is associating with a large flock of Cedar Waxings hanging out around the visitor center.

[cobirds] Field Sparrow CCSP Arap County
Cobirders, The Field Sparrow was observed at 1:45 pm at CCSP associating with a loose flock of other sparrows. It was found at the edge of the willows along the shoreline about twenty yards before they end out on Pelican Point. About at the spot where folks were cutting through the willows to cross the creek to see the Nelson’ s Sparrow.

Cobirders, I have an almost complete set of Birding Magazine from August 1990 thru July 2012 (missing only December 1995 - assuming that date was published) that I am giving away.

These are from back in the day before the current ABA president turned the organization into Audubon Lite Tours. I also have June 2015 - July 2017 to throw in as well.

[cobirds] Hooded Warbler - Arapahoe County
Cobirders, The Hooded Warbler was seen at the previously described location at 5:15 pm this evening. The best way to see the bird is to employ the method used by those that saw the bird yesterday. Cross the creek to the small clearing on the north side of the creek. Plop down and be patient. The bird seems to respond to chipping notes. It was seen on the south bank of the creek quietly foraging close to the ground. It makes a chip or two at long intervals.

[cobirds] Re: The New Chatfield State Park, Jeffco and Douglas counties
Cobirders, Before this thread is closed, there is a bit of a misconception in the previous responses. According to the CSU Colorado Water Knowledge website, consumptive water use in Colorado is 400,000 acre-feet for Municipal & Industrial and 4,700,000 acre-feet for Agriculture or 11.75 more than Municipal/Industrial. Maybe we should consider that fact before buy Rocky Ford Cantaloupe or Olathe Sweet Corn grown in semi-arid terrain at what cost?

[cobirds] Re: BRONZED COWBIRD photographed in Lamar by Jill White Smith
Cobirders, The 1990 Bronzed Cowbird was seen at the Carter's yard in Lakewood and documented with the CBRC. The following year in May 1991 a Bronzed Cowbird appeared again in their backyard. I do not remember how long the bird stayed the second time but I saw it on May 12th. I recall the assumption at the time was that it was the same bird that had visited the year before but who knows? There are no accepted records for the second appearance (assuming that it was not written up by anyone). There is only reference to it being reported on the Rare Bird Alert *Tape* in May in the Lark Bunting.

As it states on the totally awesome Colorado County Birding (coloradocountybirding.org) website: "The *Colorado Bird Records Committee* is charged with maintaining official county checklists. Not all county additions, however, are in need of formal review. Submit your new county species to the CBRC Chair using this form. Species appearing as red in the list are state review species and must be documented through the *CBRC site* <http://coloradobirdrecords.org/>."

[cobirds] Re: Eastern Larimer 8/25 and County Additions
Cobirders, I thoroughly enjoyed the post by Andy regarding the "official" Larimer County species list. In this age of "if it isn't in eBird it does not exist" it is refreshing to see that there is still interest in the rich ornithological history in Colorado. Hopefully, others will note the various sources that are mentioned and take time to explore the data as Andy and others have done. While he may be counting some of his proverbial chickens before they hatch, it appears that the Larmier total may be moving upward. Although, there is a bit of a black hole with the Committee when it comes to county records approvals and updates so Pueblo will continue to reign for the time being.

[cobirds] Re: Western Gull Still At Blanca Wetlands
Cobirders, This is to point out that there was not an accepted record of Western Gull in the state until Walbek found the first state record in June 2011. There are a couple of other accepted records from 2012 and 2013 (with possibly another pending). On the surface it appears there maybe a trend for this species to appear in the state but experience tells us not to count on it. In other words, it seems that John has an accommodating bird and it would be well worth taking a drive to observe it on July 16th, at least in my opinion.

[cobirds] White-eyed Vireo Arap Cty Continues
Cobirders, The vireo is currently along the creek that flows through the park. The most expeditious way to see the bird is to park at the Littleton ice rink. Cross the footbridge to the park and take an immediate left along the highlight canal trail heading north. Proceed approximately 1K to where there is an orange fence along the trail. Make a 90° turn down the hill to the creek and that is where the bird was a few minutes ago. It is singing sporadically.

[cobirds] Re: Cobirds vs Ebird Reporting
Cobirders, A "Thank You" to the parties that posted the Great-crested Flycatcher sighting to eBird and documenting the record for further discussion. I am not following the logic to Mark's original post because even if the bird had been posted to CObirds the minute it was seen it would have been simply noted as a Great-crested Flycatcher; a good sighting but not extraordinary nor would it have included a picture. The posting to eBird documented the sighting with pictures and possibly established the second state record of a rarer species than originally thought when posted. It should be noted the CObirds and eBird are two entirely different things. Instead of the idea of one displacing the other it should be viewed as one augmenting the other. Now birders have a wider array of information to learn about birds and their distribution from two sources. Thirty years ago that information was only available in a monthly newsletter from the Denver Field Ornithologists (DFO) that arrived a month after the sightings. Then DFO sponsored a recorded (on tape) bird sighting report that was available 24-7 assuming the administrator had updated the tape (which at times would be updated as many as eight or more times a day during the spring). What progress! How quaint! How dated! CObirds is an open forum that is used by everyone from beginners to experts and very accessible. I can now be anywhere in the world and in thirty seconds or so on my phone view everything posted to both CObirds and eBirds allowing me to know more about the current status of birds in the State than was ever possible. I do not have a problem saying that today's birders are spoiled by an embarrassment of riches. Embrace them. Use them. Share the knowledge. Enrich the birding experience for *everyone.* Show your passion! Besides, in about five years all this will be obsolete anyways, and I cannot wait for what comes next!

[cobirds] Cherry Crk State Park Migration - Not so Much...
Cobirders, Following yesterday's discussion of weather patterns, a check of a few migrant spots for land birds at Cherry Creek this morning resulted in no migrants. It was incredibly slow. Does that underscore the fact that even with the most optimal conditions that migrants will only show up if they are moving? Maybe the forecasted weather for Monday and Tuesday will break the spell of the recent favorable weather and prompt some birds to move. Or, it is possible that my earlier sample size was limited and others will have more favorable results later this morning.

Cobirders, The areas that Ira describes in his post are actually in Douglas County. I too have not had any observations of Lewis's Woodpecker activity this year at the historical spot just north of Sedalia. However, the American Three-toed Woodpeckers can still be observed the historical spot ~10 mi west of Sedalia. I have observed them at that location multiple times this year, most recently being the third week of June. They are responsive to a reasonable imitation of their drumming. The area was also ripe with Williamson's Sapsuckers and even a few Hairy's as well.

[cobirds] Yellow-billed Loon @ Chatfield State Park
Cobirders, The Chatfield Yellow-billed Loon is trending of late on Cobirds. Is the rarity of this bird making it popular? A click over to the CFO website and then to the Colorado Bird Records Commitee link can quickly answer that question. An easy query of the data indicates there are currently twenty-five accepted records of the species going back to 1944. So the bird is fairly rare and would indeed be worth a detour on the trip to the grocery store in order to observe it. Interestingly, this species has been documented every year or two since 1987 after decades of no observations. Is this change attributable to the distribution of the species or the maturation of birding in Colorado?

[cobirds] Re: ABA listing rules and the CO State List, etc.
Cobirders, I also do not want to stir up a big debate on this subject. However, non-native species can be a slippery slope. For example, Russian Olives and Common Hackberry (below) have both been championed by Dave for their benefits to birds in the state and both species are introduced and outside of their native ranges in Colorado. Good Birding, Steve Stachowiak Highlands Ranch, CO On Saturday, October 11, 2014 2:30:40 PM UTC-6, Dave Leatherman wrote: As I understand the recent changes to the ABA listing rules that Ira brings up, this may influence the CO List in regards to California Condor. Does anyone remember when the Grand Canyon condors visited the Grand Mesa of Colorado? A good source informed me the condors introduced back to their historic nesting cliffs at the Grand Canyon began to reproduce on their own in 2004. One of the new rules seems to indicate after such a date for this kind of reintroduction into a former historic nesting area, the species is countable. If the CO sighting was in 2004 or later, maybe we have a new bird on the CO list. My unclear memory of the CO condor episode tells me it was *before* 2004, but maybe I'm in error. Comments? On a related but different subject, I am very disappointed by our Colorado DPW decision to introduce non-native Chukars into new areas for very shallow reasons supported by what I suspect is shallow ecological pre-study. I guess only when us tax payers are willing to fund this agency from general funds (as opposed to license fees only), can we expect them to do anything other than cater to their base. Chukar introductions in new places are NOT the fault, really, of the current agency employees carrying out orders from on high. And, I would stress, I have nothing against hunting and fishing when done within sound ecological guidelines but When will we learn? I say no more new hybrid fish. No more introductions of non-native species. Non-game species matter. I'm not trying to stir up a big debate on this forum but just getting some things off my chest. Had a late Townsend's Warbler in my Fort Collins yard today (eating psyllids in boxelder). Maybe some more good warblers are still coming for what has been a lackluster passerine migration in northeastern CO. I would remind everybody what John Shenot recently pointed out about hackberry psyllids - just prior to this cold, wet stretch of days, in Fort Collins the gall psyllid hatch (two species coming from both blister and nipple type galls) was peaking or could be considered just past peak (i.e. retreating into their overwintering sites in the bark of host trees and especially nearby spruce trees). That means a similar flight (look for tiny gnats milling about in the air) should be peaking in areas to the south of here as soon as we return to daily highs in the 60s, and this tree is worth searching for small migrants. That said, I would also comment that because the temps have been fairly mild to this point this fall, all trees are supporting insect populations to some extent, and hackberry is not the standout species it normally is.

Cobirders, I had a similar experience while working on a lawn project a few years ago. I was going about my business when I suddenly realized I was hearing a Northern Cardinal in a nearby tree and then it stopped after a few calls. I walked over to the tree and could not find the bird. A while later it called again, this time a bit longer than the first time, but I again had no luck finding the bird. When it called a third time, I raced over to the tree but the only bird I found was a Lesser Goldfinch. Imagine my surprise when the goldfinch suddenly began calling like a Northern Cardinal!

RE: [cobirds] Sad news in the passing of long-time Colorado birder, Warren Finch
Cobirders, Thank you to Joe Roller for the post regarding the passing of Warren Finch. I first met Warren back in the 80’s at a DFO meeting. This was back in the day before cellphones, email and the internet when the DFO was still the grand dame of the Colorado birding community. Many birders would flock to the monthly meeting at the museum and it struck me how Warren always stood out as a true gentleman amongst the uncultured listers flitting about room. I have fond memories of chance meetings with him at the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt back when the birding Gods made the tree bridge the center of the birding universe for a period of time. Warren was the DFO historian for many years and there was not a better person for the position. He recognized a level of importance in a bird club that began in 1935 and sponsored weekly field trips that continue to this day. His March 7, 2012 post to Cobirds references his published articles on the history of DFO and the need for similar treatise of the CFO. Anyone that reads or posts to Cobirds or the CFO Facebook pages or Twitter account owes it to themselves to go back and dip into Warren’s history of birding in the State. I will truly miss the sense of calm that Warren exuded and the aplomb with which he navigated the universe.

[cobirds] Prairie Warbler - Cherry Crk State Park Arapahoe County
Cobirders, This morning there was a female Prairie Warbler at the south end of Cherry Creek State Park which was observed by me, Gene Rutherford and Phil Gerkins. The directions to the spot are as follows: take Jordon Road north from Arapahoe and take a right turn on W Caley, just after the turn there is a concrete bike path on the north side of the road heading into the park, proceed a couple hundred yards or so north to where there is an intersection and another path to the right. Visible from there on the path to the right is a large steel and wood footbridge that crosses the creek. The warbler was seen from the bridge. However, crossing back an hour or so later it was not seen again from the bridge. I did not post sooner due to lack of power to my cellphone and, adding insult to injury, once I did get the post sent it was posted to an old obsolete Cobirds email address. (Note: plugging in the cellphone at night for charging only works if the other end is fully plugged into the wall as well!) Also seen and heard singing from this spot was an Olive-sided Flycatcher. Proceeding on the same path further into the park will yield many Yellow-breasted Chats, some Blue Grosbeaks, and a combination of Lazuli Bunting, Indigo Bunting and highbreds of those two buntings.

[cobirds] Prothonotary Warbler Centennial Park Arapahoe County
Cobirders, The Prothonotary Warbler previously reported by Art Hudak was seen again this morning, most recently at 11:15 am. From either the southeast or west parking lots follow the paved path around the small reservoir to north side the where the path bends ninety degrees and there is a gazebo with a picnic table. It is the only structure in the area. From the path by the gazebo, look opposite the water to the northeast into the trees around the oxbow. Looking down there are two small trees (appears to be a type of hawthorn) loaded with large berries. The bird will fly in and feed for a while and then fly directly north and into the denser stand of larger trees with a choke cherry understory. The bird can be amazingly stealthy and simply disappear and then reappear fifteen minutes or so later in the hawthorn trees. There is also a Swamp Sparrow that has been seen along the water's edge in this area as well.

[cobirds] First Accepted State Record! (Kind of) Morgan County
Cobirders, I thought I would point out that Steve M's Mottled Duck would be the first record with supporting documentation resulting in the species being added to the state list if it is ultimately accepted by the CBRC. Maybe it is just the overwhelming number of mega-rarities in recent months, but this bird so far seems to be fairly low on the ol' buzz meter. Hopefully, someone will get out and find this bird again to further document it and confirm that it is still around for all of the working stiffs that cannot get out there mid-week. I think this bird would technically be listed second in the records because there may be a single person sighting without photos tucked away in Faulkner's sock drawer that would slot in front of this record.

[cobirds] Re: Voice ( a BoCo Orchard Oriole)
Cobirders, I am categorically opposite Ted’s opinion on use of “voice” and what is of primary or secondary interest. BUT, to stem the inevitable tide of commentary on this topic during peak bird season, I suggest posting an annotated list first to your post and then as verbose as you chose to be in the space below the list. As we all know, Ted is the editor of a major “Birding” magazine (ABA) and waxing loquaciously with sesquipedalian content is what he is all about.

Cobirders, There was a nice article in the Denver Post yesterday regarding the passing on December 22nd of Catherine Hurlbutt at the age of 99. The long time bird rehabilitator and DFO member was one of the more colorful characters in the birding community. I will always fondly remember years ago during the sightings portion of a DFO meeting her discourse on the impact of cats on bird populations and one suggested remedy to the problem involving the use of an automobile. And who can forget the very unique vehicle that Catherine herself drove. As Edgar would say, Nevermore.

[cobirds] Marston Lake, Denver Cty - New Viewing Spot
Cobirders, The previously reported two White-winged Scoters and the lone Surf Scoter were on Marston Lake this morning at 10 am. I noted recent posts mentioning the lack of viewing opportunities at Marston Lake. There is a little known park at the south end of Marston Lake from which the majority of the south end of the lake can be viewed. There is not a sign at the park, but I think the name may be Isthmus Nature Park or something to that effect. Drive east on Grant Ranch Blvd from Wadsworth Blvd. Continue approximately 1.7 miles to Jay Circle. Proceed north on Jay approximately 0.3 miles and the park will be on your left. This small park does not have a parking lot. However, there are no signs prohibiting parking on Jay Circle or on S Ingalls Street to the north just past the park. Enter the park and head north on the walking trails towards the large, nicely covered, highly elevated gazebo (handicap accessible). Viewing from the gazebo affords good looks of the southern portion of the lake. The mostly inaccessible and fenced off Bowles Reservoir Number One located to the south of Marston can also be viewed in its entirety from the gazebo. This area makes one more appreciative of the use of Colorado Lottery funds!

[cobirds] Brambling Continues - Divine Intervention
Cobirders, Observers arrived just before 7 a.m. this morning at the Brambling spot at Bear Creek Lake Park in Jefferson County. The bird not appeared and it was around 7:40 or so someone whose name I did not catch brought some much needed seed. It was spread and we continued to monitor the birds. The new seed prompted a Black-billed Magpie to begin coming to the bridge which continually flushed the smaller birds feeding, and still no Brambling. Just before 8 a.m. we heard a car pull up and park just off the shoulder of the main road. A few of us turned to admonish the driver for parking on the road instead of the parking lot and to warn them that a park ranger had been making rounds. However, as we turned there were three nuns exiting the car and nobody said anything. As the sisters approached the group along the gate, someone that had been hopefully standing there for an hour made the comment, I'll take all the help we can get at this point.. Just as the sisters got up to the gate the Brambling made its first appearance on the bridge for the group. Thanksgiving Day indeed!

[cobirds] Brambling - Additional Directions
Cobirders, Here are some additional directions for the Brambling. After exiting C470 onto east bound Morrison Rd the entrance to Bear Creek Lake Park is approximately two tenths of a mile on the right. After paying the attendant or the self-registration drop box the road continues for another two tenths or so where it comes to a stop sign at a T. Turn left at the stop sign and drive just over 1.1 miles to the Coyote Crossing Picnic Area. You will see a dirt road leading up to the gate on the left and a dirt road going down into the parking area on the right. Drive down and park in the lot and walk back up to the gate to observe the bird. Please observe the park rules and pay at the entrance to the park. It really is a small price to see such a wonderful bird and at the same time help support Bear Creek Lake Park. The birding community has a good reputation here and we would like further that with all of the observers coming to view the bird. And, remember to do a little birding around the park after seeing the Brambling. An Ancient Murrelet was observed at this park in November just over eight years ago, and one could speculate that this Brambling did not blow all the way down here by itself!

[cobirds] Brambling at Bear Creek
Cobirders, As Mike indicated, the Brambling is still being seen this morning. After you park in the parking lot to the south side of the road, walk back up the entrance road to the parking lot, keep walking north across the paved main road that you drove in on, and then up the hill about thirty yards to where the big brown metal gate blocks the road. The main dirt road veers to the left and there is a smaller dirt road going right to the northeast. There is a small wooden footbridge that is just the decking with no side rails passing between the willows. This is where the bird is coming to the seed that has been scattered. It is best to stand behind the gate and wait for the bird to appear. It is skittish at times and you may have to wait 20 minutes or so for it to come in to feed. There is no need to get any closer than the gate or start beating about the vegetation. Buy a bigger camera lens if you cannot get that perfect frame filling shot from behind the gate. A bag of seed was left by the gate. If you come later today you may want to consider replenishing the seed on the ground if it appears that it all has been consumed. This bird will likely stick around if the food source remains. There are a lot of people that are hoping to see the bird later today or tomorrow. Thanks again to Mike for reporting the bird. Remember; park down in the parking lot and not on the side of the road or on the dirt road leading up to the gate.

[cobirds] Redpoll Sightings

It would be nice if observers would include the type of habitat the birds are being observed in, if they are associating with other species and the types of plants the birds are feeding on when the birds are reported. That would be both educational and provide others clues for what to look for when out searching for redpolls.

[cobirds] Murrelet Migration
Cobirders, As Brandon alluded to earlier today, it is the historical start of the murrelet migration in Colorado. Well, that may be a little misleading to the less informed, but 67% of all sightings have occurred between November 2nd and November 28th. Okay, full disclosure. Six of the nine documented Colorado sightings have occurred in that date range. The little buggers tend to pop up days after a cold front sweeps down from the NW Washington State area like occurred last week, which means that Brandon was right on track getting out and looking for them today. It looks like another cold front may be tracking down our way next week to present another opportunity. So, get out and canvas the lakes this month looking for those bobbing bobbers. And with all of the activity of late, we better make sure the Last Chance pond gets covered as well!

So, if you are newer to birding this is one that you might want to make an effort to go see, especially for the Front Range birders.

[cobirds] Band-tailed Pigeon Arapahoe County
Cobirders, I just saw a Band-tailed Pigeon 3/10's of a mile east of mile marker 117 on the north side of Hwy 36 sitting on the fence wire. This is about 12 miles or so east of Last Chance. After skillfully executing a bat turn I was able to view the bird in my bins before it flew about 50 yds to the north to sit on a wood pole on a cattle pen.

[cobirds] Going to Last Chance? / Band-tailed Pigeon Correction
Cobirders, A correction to my earlier post, mile marker 117 is west of Last Chance not east as indicated in my message. If anyone is heading to Last Chance in the near future, you will likely find a hummingbird feeder on a Shepard's hook just SW of the trees by the swale with the willows and current(?) bushes. I would appreciate it if you would bring the feeder and hook back to Denver if you should happen upon them. I can then get them from you at some point.

RE: [cobirds] American Woodcock in Burlington (Kit Carson)
Cobirders, I think that there are only eight or so records of this species in the state going back to 1945, with half of those sightings dating back to 2000. Still, despite the fairly recent uptick in sightings, this is a good bird for the state and might be worth a scenic drive out to Burlington to view this bird before the cold and snow arrive on Thursday. That is assuming, of course, that Mr. Murphy and the other fine denizens of Burlington do not mind a few birders poking about the neighborhood. If enough people show up it could be the biggest thing since the new car wash. ; ) Good Birding, Steve Stachowiak Highlands Ranch, CO From: cobirds@googlegroups.com [mailto:cobirds@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Leon Bright Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 11:10 AM To: COBIRDS Cc: sovmur...@centurytel.net Subject: [cobirds] American Woodcock in Burlington (Kit Carson) COBirders, Yesterday afternoon Stan Murphy of Burlington sent me his photo, asking for an I.D. I have sent a copy of his photograph of an American Woodcock to Rachel Hopper requesting inclusion in CFO's photo gallery on our webpage. Here is part of the email Stan sent: I took the picture this afternoon (11/28/11) near 840 N 13th Street, Burlington, Colorado 80807. We have been watching it for about a week out in the lawns bobbing its head up and down driving its bill into the bluegrass to get insects, just as you have described. When anyone would get too close to it, it would take short flight to get under cover within the evergreen shrubs around the houses. --For the benefit of our less experienced COBirds subscribers, this species' normal range extends west to eastern Kansas, and its habitat is woody areas with good ground cover. So one in town in eastern Colorado is quite unusual. Leon Bright Pueblo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Western Gull - Go See It!
Cobirders, Just a reminder that the Western Gull at Chatfield will be a FIRST STATE RECORD for this species if the sighting is accepted by the CBRC as expected. First state records do not happen very often. Just think. If you see the bird, twenty years from now you will be reminiscing about the great Western Gull fallout in 2011 to the next wave of Colorado birders. If you have been debating making the trip, a semi-serious birder, or whatever, go see the bird and you will be glad that you did. One thing to note is that Chatfield on the weekend is like a Chuck E Cheese's on a Saturday afternoon only with adults and their toys. I speculate that at some point during the day it will be so busy that the gull will not be able to find any respite and may take off for a more peaceful place. So, go. Go early. See the bird. Tip your hat to Glenn and Loch for having the wherewithal to stop and study the only Larus on the lake and enjoy the bird!

[cobirds] Western Gull - Chatfield State Park Jefferson/Douglas Counties
Cobirders, The reported Western Gull was comfortably dozing at the north end of the swim beach this evening. Then it began preening, stood up and eventually took wing. It flew to the eastern side of the reservoir at approximately 7:35 pm and was last seen rounding the point near the handicap fisherman's area heading in the direction of the south marina sand spit.

[cobirds] Re: Douglas County American Three-toed Woodpecker
Cobirders, I thought that I would add that the beetle kill area as it was referred to by Andy is most likely attributable to Western Spruce Budworm. The large stand of dead defoliated trees is comprised of Douglas-fir while the Ponderosa Pines in the immediate vicinity remain in healthy condition. I visited this location on Saturday morning but had no luck with the American Three-toed so it is nice to know that they are indeed still in the area. There are also Williamson's Sapsuckers drumming in the stand across the road to the south.

[cobirds] Ross's Gull - Out of State Birders
Dear Cobirders, Hopefully the local birders will indulge a message to out of state birders. I suggest that any out of state birders attempting to book a flight to Denver over the very busy Thanksgiving Holiday to view the Ross's Gull consider flying into the Colorado Springs airport. There might be availability and it is an easy and scenic hour and a half drive up to Cherry Creek State Park from that airport. As Glenn Walbek previously mentioned, there is a satellite map that is a bit basic but effective that can be found at the following link: http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/2010_birds http://www.google.com/url?sa=Dq=http://www.pbase.com/gwalbek/2010_birdsus g=AFQjCNGZBi-JmFdoMIAeAki2qC0txk03dw . The coordinates to the west entrance of the park are: 39°37'53.78N 104°52'33.85W. There are a handful of local birders attempting to keep tabs on the bird during the day, but that may get spotty over the holiday. I will be able to loosely monitor the following email address while the Ross's Gull is still being seen if you have any general questions about the bird or the area: stevestachow...@q.com .

RE: [cobirds] Magpie and Sharp-shinned Hawk behavior
Dear Cobirders, I too have recently observed similar behavior to Marilyn's observation. A couple weeks ago I was getting the oil changed in my car and while I was sitting outside waiting I observed about eight or so American Crows congregating in some pines and locusts at the edge of a McDonald's parking lot. A juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk flew in and made a run at the crows. The targeted crow tucked and rolled out of harms way when the Sharpie was on top of it, but two other crows were above the Sharpie mobbing it at the same time. All the participants settled in the trees with two of the crows in the tree above the Sharpie vocalizing and making pecking attempts at it as well. The Sharpie would then take wing again and target a different crow with the same results. There were many iterations of this that played out for a good ten minutes before the Sharpie headed south. It was quite entertaining to watch. Good Birding, Steve Stachowiak Highlands Ranch, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Colorado Birds group.

[cobirds] Buff-Breasted Sandpiper - Additional
Cobirders, The best way to observe this bird is to stand on the gravel path on the west side of this area and look east from there. The bird will not be out on the mud flats with the other shore birds, but back foraging amongst the plants back off of the water. It tends to stay on the buffy colored sand that matches the color of the plumage of the bird. There is a finger sand bar that extends to the south. It has been working that sand bar to the south and then back up to the north. Look for a sunflower back off the shore about eight feet or so. The bird frequently is foraging in this area. It can disappear for lengths of time back in the weeds.
